Overall appearance is good, good styling and color. I have bought several pairs of Eccos over the past few years. My biggest issue is that there is only one width size. The standard width is increasingly uncomfortable for me as my feet tend to be wider than normal. This greatly limits my future Ecco purchases.

I've now bought 2 pairs of these Helsinki's. One in black and one in the brown. The black have lasted me for over two and a half years and I'm naturally rough on shoes. The browns I just recently bought and are just as comfortable as the blacks. The browns seem to scuff a little more easily or perhaps the color just makes it more visible. Even with the minor scuffs I still love my new brown pair as well.

I got the rust ones (per my wife's recommendation). It is a little too red for me. I would rather go with the brown if I could do it over again. I have wide feet and I had to go one size up and the shoes don't feel like they are oversized at all. Good shoe. Good fit. Eccos are great shoes. These are my 3rd pair.

I currently have two pair, the black and brown. Been wearing ECCOs daily for over a year. Great value, can not wear out. Still look and feel great. Only dress shoe I will ever wear as long as they continue to make a size 50.
